This is a critical issue in the reliability assessment of a system. In the analysis conducted in this paper, the impacts of failure rate variations caused by a preventive maintenance are examined. This is considered as a part of a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) application program. A number of load point reliability indices is derived using the mathematical model of the failure rate, which is established using the observed data in a distribution system. }, journal = {International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering}, volume = {3}, number = {1}, year = {2009}, pages = {59 - 63}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/11508}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/25}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 25, 2009}, }
